1970 GS Stage 1 4-speed Convertible

Or before resto, be able to say you went fishing with your son and took your real 70 Stage 4 speed convertible!

 

my daughter liked the smooth ride.

 

IMHO, #'s matching block in this case is worth a significant amount & if NOM, it doesn't matter what year, whether service replacement, "correct" SS, etc. IOW, it's either #'s matching or not. Nothing wrong w/NOM per se. As you said, these cars were likely driven hard and NOM means they still can be!

 

I thought you had the original engine for your car ?

 

Yeah, to me I always kind of chuckle at "Correct block" or "SS block" if its NOM. Is this a new category? Near numbers match?

Either a car is or isnt. Either you are okay with that or you are not.

 

My old GSX had been decked but I'm sure it was the orig. block. Even those decked #'s can be recovered - Same method the police use to recover ground off #'s. That metal is compressed below the stamping. Ixm not sure how much value that adds but its something.

 

Me personally, I'm one of the people who only buys numbers cars. It's my preference, I pay more for them, and I expect (and get) more for them when I sell. I think the most important part of selling the car is buying the car. I wouldn't buy one that was decked I don't think. I get it if others don't care, don't want to worry while they have fun with their car, etc.

 

It’s 1 of 67 , can’t get too picky . One just sold for $240,000 thousand dollars .
, with flaws of its own . That leaves you $171,000 to restore this car. Needs significant work for sure , but should come in less then 171 Thousand . Meanwhile , other A body 4-speed convs have brought 400-500K . Buick folks are interesting .

 

You make it sound like it's a given that it's worth $240,000 which it certainly isn't. Still, good possibilities I agree.

 

stage one 4 speed convert with parts?? nice!
